working process 19.-20.11.2009

hi folks,

i digitalized our working process from the morning and attached it!!!!

@vitor: i know everything is now planned but maybe i can explain you the whole process via skype!!! i’m in there this evening!!!!

@felix: we didn’t continue doing our matrix by the game “set” and playing with the categories. it was at the end more complicated then we thought, so that we first eliminated categories and repeated order them. after a short excursion to henry levebvre, who divided the production of space into three categories (spatial practice, presentation of space, space of presentation). after using this we noticed, that we don’t have to use the virtual space of its own. that was the danger, leo told us yesterday!! the virtual and the real space have one important thing in common: the bod, who produces the room, in interacting with other bodies or/and objects = room. without interaction the body also constitutes a room, because of the time. he changes the whole time doing nothing, but this is also some kind of interaction with time :-))) ok now it’ll become too deep, but maybe understable.

above all this, we combined the three categories under control, because under this the body controls the space and itself, e.g. in the internet and the space, e.g. camera surveillance, internet the body. everything, that is associated with control is evaluated negativ. then we talked about a possible aim: how to evaluate control positive by visualize the control and following behaviour. to achieve this aim, we needed the other steps, involving the aspect of hybrids, which we found between the three categories. how they can look like is one of the next steps. after getting ideas and concepts how to realize these hybrids in smaller groups or everybody by himself, we want to filter them and come together (step will be finished after christmas holidays).

but before we start with this whole process, we have to define following terms: control (the whole group is searching for it) literature, e.g. Gilles Deleuze “Foucault”, Michel Foucault “Wachen und Strafen” (@Basti: was that the right title??), Martina Löw (Stadt- und Raumsoziologie, theres a text about surveillance, space and criminality), Mike Davis “City of Quartz”

the term body: tabea wants to define it with the help of literature by anke hagemann
the term space: nicole has to start defining it by literature, e.g. Martina Löw “Stadt- und Raumsoziologie”, Georg Simmel, Dieter Läpple, H.P. Bahrdt, Henri Levebvre, gabriele sturm
the term time: anne wants to define it with the help of literature by martina löw “Stadt- und Raumsoziologie”

the term hybrid: basti started to define it in the last semester and wants to work again on it

@felix, vitor and kai: where do you want to join????

our timetable: next little working session: thursday 26.11. 16-18 (AV, room 367); presentation pre-work: tuesday 01.12. 9 o’clock (AV, room 367) –> all definitions have to be clarified, so that we can join them in the presentation on thursday 03.12.

the derivation to this prozess is written by nicole!!!
